Our Lord Insists On The

Our Natural Virtues Can Never Come Anywhere Near What Jesus Christ Wants.

God’s Training Is For Now, Not Presently. His Purpose Is For This Minute, Not For Something In The Future. We Have Nothing To Do With The Afterwards Of Obedience; We Can Get It Wrong When We Think Of The Afterwards. What Men Call Training And Preparation, God Calls The End… If We Realize That Obedience Is The End, Then Each Moment Is Precious.

Sin Is Not Wrong Doing, It Is Wrong Being, Deliberate And Emphatic Independence Of God.

It Is In The Middle That Human Choices Are Made; The Beginning And The End Remain With God. The Decrees Of God Are Birth And Death, And In Between Those Limits Man Makes His Own Distress Or Joy.

Human Nature, If Healthy, Demands Excitement; And If It Does Not Obtain Its Thrilling Excitement In The Right Way, It Will Seek It In The Wrong. God Never Makes Bloodless Stoics; He Makes No Passionless Saints.
